"I want to speak to-day about a Festival to which in modern times less importance is attached than to the Christmas Festival itself, namely, the Festival of the Three Kings, of the Magi who came from the East to greet the newly born Jesus. This Festival of the Epiphany (celebrated on the 6th of January) will assume greater and greater significance when its symbolism is understood.

It will be obvious to you that very profound symbolism is contained in the Festival of the Three Magi from the East. Until the 15th century, this symbolism was kept very secret and no definite indications were available. But since that century some light has been thrown on the Festival of the Magi by exoteric presentations. One of the Three Kings — Caspar — is portrayed as a Moor, an inhabitant of Africa; one as a white man, a European — Melchior; and one — Balthasar — as an Asiatic; the colour of his skin is that of an inhabitant of India. They bring Myrrh, Gold and Frankincense as offerings to the Child Jesus in Bethlehem.

These three offerings are full of meaning and in keeping with the whole symbolism of the Festival celebrated on the 6th of January. Exoterically, the date itself throws some light; esoterically, the Festival is pregnant with meaning. The 6th of January is the same date as that on which, in ancient Egypt, the Festival of Osiris was celebrated, the Festival of the re-finding of Osiris. As you know, Osiris was overcome by his enemy Typhon: Isis seeks and eventually finds him. This re-finding of Osiris, the Son of God, is represented in the Festival of the 6th of January. The Festival of the Three Kings is the same Festival, but in its Christian form. This Festival was also celebrated among the Assyrians, the Armenians and the Phoenicians. Everywhere it is a Festival connected with a kind of universal baptism — a rebirth from out of the water. This in itself points to the connection with the re-finding of Osiris."

Hoy, primer domingo de 🎄🌀🍎🕯️

…Y sin embargo cuatro semanas antes de navidad sucede algo muy importante: un gran ángel desciende del cielo para invitar a los habitantes de la tierra a preparar la navidad; este ángel va cubierto de una gran capa azul, tejida de silencio y de paz. La mayoría de la gente no lo percibe porque esta muy ocupada en otras cosas, pero el ángel canta con voz profunda, y solamente aquellos que tienen el corazón atento pueden escucharlo.

La palabra “Adviento” procede del verbo latino “advenire”, que significa “llegar”. 😇😇😇😇 🕯️🎄

En esta celebración, cada niño camina por la espiral que previamente se ha elaborado con ramas de poda. En el centro de la espiral colocamos una vela y acompañados por suaves canciones los niños van caminando hacia ella para encender su vela, posteriormente van colocando su luz en la salida de la espiral que intercambian por su luz y se llevan con ellos fuera de la espiral para mantener en sus manos. La gran vela del centro es la Luz de la Navidad, que da luz a los niños como símbolo de su continuo crecimiento y desarrollo. Al iniciar la trayectoria todo está oscuro y poco a poco los niños van dejando su luz y creando una espiral hermosa y luminosa, fuente de desarrollo del alma humana. Finalmente permanecemos unos minutos observando la luz de la espiral y reflexionando en nuestro interior.
